Golden Rod Brand is the name printed across this crate label, a piece of commercial art meant to catch a buyer's eye on a wooden apple box. Crate labels like this were pasted onto the ends of shipping crates so that packers' fruit could stand out on crowded grocery and produce shelves. Apple growers in the late 1800s and early 1900s often relied on bright chromolithographed designs, with fruit, orchards, and bold lettering, to sell their name as much as the fruit inside. Labels of this kind are now prized as early examples of American advertising and as records of the orchard brands that once shaped the produce trade.
